About us:
We call for applicants to a project funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Reinhart Koselleck-Project) on “Planetary healing as transformative process. A decolonial approach to the challenges of climate change”. With a team led by Professor Eveline Dürr, this project draws on the findings of current research on human-environment relations in times of climate change. However, instead of focusing on resilience and adaptation of particularly affected groups, this project proposes an alternative approach of "planetary healing." It brings into focus Indigenous practices of healing that connect different scales, addressing individual as well as collective and environmental dimensions. Drawing on case studies from the Americas (with a preference for Latin America) and applying collaborative methods, this project has three goals: 1) to theorize and systematize planetary healing in the context of (de)colonization; 2) to explore the transformative potential of planetary healing to reconfigure human-environment relations; 3) to further develop ethnographic methods to capture the scaling of the planetary.
